Had fun playing with Danyutz.. I found that my fast twitch skills are a wee bit slow.. but I do
like that if your teammates CTD you can stealth your ass into the final 3 teams and if
you are lucky and get the other 2 teams to eliminate or damage each other enough you
can roll up and Wingman the last 2 down while one was healing the other..
one of my rare wins
if they ever fix the dang CTD with no error and the connection to server problems I can
actually play for more than 3 rounds in a row
That weird UI bug at 2:46. A white attachments is shown as yellow? Never seen that so far. Did you think you had yellow attachment all the time after that or you intentionally switched it because your R-301 already had sniper zoom?
On a side note I had the most pathetic win in the history of online games. I got matched with 2 premade guys who were both level 4 (I am 18 but still suck ass ). So we landed in The Pit area first. Then ran to the Runoff where I got killed but one of the other guys took my banner. So they walked east to the Cascaded and then north to the Artillery where they finally respawned me. In the fully looted area... Luckily a Supply Drop just felt down and I grabbed a Kraben. So I had the best weapon in the game with a white armor and Alternator with 50 bullets. Whatever, I thought I will follow my guys but they stopped moving. Thought they gone afk or got disconnected but no, they hid inside one of the small buildings in Artillery waiting on the sides of the door to kill someone. This was somewhere at the 4 or 5 minutes into the match. They just stood there and the Bloodhound only used his Q ability to scan for enemies. Nobody showed up. We were lucky the ring was closing right into our location. Until the last ring at minute 23 which ended in the tunnel west of the Artillery. For more than 15 minutes we were camping inside a small 5 sq.m. room without leaving it. Then we got out for a 20 seconds shootout with the last 2 players left on the map (I died, of course ) but my duded killed them and we got that "YOU ARE CHAMPION". I had 87 damage dealt, my teammates had 2 kills and ~300 damage each. Stupidest match ever!

Yeah, getting lucky with the circle is already half the battle. The minute you are forced to run from cover to cover, you become a major target for others. I still like these kind of games because they're not constant action.
I saw a streamer today who had 27 eliminations and 5k damage in one match (wasn't even premade, he played solo with some randoms who only respawned him once and had total of 300 damage). Constantly moving in the open, using the balloons to scout around and even shooting in the air to make people come to him. You can't get that good with hiding for 15 mins which feels like cheating to me. You have a high chance to get top 3 finish but you won't improve or learn anything. The XP earning should be adjusted to reward more kills than more time survived but then I will never get to level 30 I guess.
In all other BR games circle positioning luck is a major factor. Not here. Not saying it's not a factor, but it's certainly not major. I have around 65-70 wins at this time, and almost as many second placements. Only once or twice did it happen, that last circle positioning was the cause of our loss. When we lost, it was because we got outplayed - not just outpositioned.
And that is very important, and the reason why this game is miles ahead of all other BR games.
In all other BR games the one who spots the enemy first ends up winning the engage as a general rule. Here it is not so. Longer TTK + smaller spaces + abilities + revive means if you have the skill you can turn around engages. And this is the reason why aggressive play is finally rewarded in a BR, whereas in other such games camping is most rewarded.
This is a BR for people who like shooters and deathmatches. Finally.
I've had more success getting my sensitivity down to 2 from the default 5.
But mostly, what I need to learn is the bullet speed. The only other online shooter I play is Siege and that doesn't translate well to the shooting here what with the need to lead your aim even at mid range.
The most useless accessories has to be those 6-8x sniper scopes unless you just want to scout using it. Maybe drop it when combat starts and you have to close in, because sniping at long distances isn't going to get kills as far as I can tell since whenever someone snipes me from a distance I can just get to cover and heal up and it gives away their position.

Though, you might be referring to Pax. Many people have told me that I sound in English like Arnold, but because of my weird accent. Pax has a booming voice. But no way he's doing any coaching there. He's actually on a tight gameplay leash and gets punished when making tactical mistakes.
nah, it's definitely you with the spot on (well to me anyway) 'idiotic' comment about using smgs for long range combat before giving paxsali light rounds

You're right - in PUBG, I pretty much spend the first half of the game getting decent gear and the second half finding good cover where I can spot people approaching me. It's not exactly hiding but PUBG has atrocious net code. I've been killed countless times in situations where I'm certain the opponent should have been killed before me. When I swapped my GTX 970 for my GTX 1070 Ti, I suddenly noticed that a lot more of my bullets registered. I don't even get why that should be but now it feels like my bullets aren't made of rubber. It made me shy away from combat before and really didn't help me improve myself in combat (you can't learn shoot patterns if half the bullets don't register).
And in all these games, you have people who play nothing BUT that game. They know every single aspect of the game, every rock, every little quirk the weapons have and as such have a major advantage. To win against these people, you need the luck of the circle but also you need to play it dirty and that involves hiding in cover a lot of the time.
In Fortnite, I see people speed-build like crazy, something that takes a lot of practice for which I simply don't have the patience.
This is what has put me off MP over the years: too many players play the same game non-stop (especially younger ones and free-to-play games) giving you a massive disadvantage when you have job and only get to play an hour an evening tops. This is why I'm more drawn to games such as World of Tanks where tactics still lets you be a better player even with less experience. There, I'm an above average player with a rating that is very high compared to the matches I played simply because the game lets you be successful without requiring thousands of hours of experience.

I am a harsh teammate, I can't stop myself even if I try. The years as a guildmaster in WoW have left a mark on me as a gamer.
